Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division is introducing ATLASCAN Pro, a new handheld 3D scanner that the company says brings professional-grade laser scanning to entry-level users in any industry. Deploying multiple laser lines and a unique processing algorithm, the ATLASCAN Pro achieves fast scanning and high-quality data capture in an affordable, easy-to-use device that anyone can learn.
Versatile and portable, the scanner weighs just 1 kg, allowing operators to take the device directly to the parts such as pump housings, automotive bodywork or domestic appliances on the shop floor and beyond. With up to 2 hours battery operation through hot swappable batteries and a Wi-Fi 7-ready wireless option, its dynamic scanning capabilities ensure a smooth scan when the part is moving, or when in unstable or rough environments such as inspecting propellers or inside pipework.
According to Hexagon, ATLASCAN Pro delivers unparalleled speed in its class across large areas of up to 720 x 640 mm in standard mode. Scanning takes place at up to 4 million points per second. Operators can change easily between standard and higher precision modes using an ergonomic thumb switch on the device to achieve a higher density resolution over a 160 x 140 mm area.
Reverse engineering workflows are streamlined because users can easily scan smaller parts such as damaged components or electrical connectors on a worktop, from any angle, capturing missing details and high-density data with less guesswork or clean up. Designed to plug into any existing software workflows, Hexagon is offering a starter bundle with its Geomagic Design X Go software at no additional cost, enabling users to recreate parts without the original design, and accelerate scan to 3D model or scan-to-print for additive manufacturing.
